My disciples are all the capital of the emperor

"What, weren't you just criticizing me? Now you're pretending you don't know me?"

Liang Feng glanced at Ye Qiubai, grinned at Jian Chaomian, and pointed his thumb at Ye Qiubai, saying, "Look, he's been complaining so much that he's even hallucinating."

Jian Chaomian covered his face and said helplessly, "Brother Ye, either you come back to take charge of the sect, or you can find me a replacement. You've seen it yourself, Liang Feng isn't very bright."

Ye Qiubai smiled. After so many years, the two of them hadn't changed at all, which was good.

"Alright, I know you're all resentful. I've gained a lot from my years of wandering around, and I'll give you some pointers later."

Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng's eyes lit up immediately.

Back in the Wilderness Realm, the two were already sword prodigies, and they were naturally happy to be able to make their swordsmanship even stronger.

“I think it would be better to do this,” Liang Feng said with a smile. “Since you’re back this time, you can teach your disciples some swordsmanship. Most of the disciples who joined the Qingyun Sword Sect did so because of you, but we haven’t seen a single one of you in all these years. That’s just too much to ask.”

Ye Qiubai thought for a moment.

This approach would allow them to gather everyone from the Qingyun Sword Sect in a logical and convenient way, so they could see if there were any spies from the Divine Realm hiding among them.

At the same time, as Liang Feng said, he, as the sect leader, only showed his face on the day the sect was founded and when he left the mortal world. After that, he had been wandering around outside, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai nodded and replied, "I have important business to attend to on this trip and will not be staying long, so please keep all arrangements simple."

Upon hearing this, Jian Chaomian nodded, pointed his finger towards the sky, and a phantom sword pierced directly through the dome.

Immediately afterwards, Jian Chaomian's voice spread throughout the entire sect through that sword.

"Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), Sect Leader Ye will give a sermon at Qingyun Terrace."

A simple sentence caused an uproar throughout the entire Qingyun Sword Sect!
"It's Sect Leader Ye?! Sect Leader Ye Qiubai?!"

"Yeah, who else could it be?"

"I joined the Azure Cloud Sword Sect because I wanted to see Sect Master Ye's true face, and now I've finally gotten my wish!"

"Back then, our Sect Master Ye became one of the heroes of our mortal world with extraordinary strength. Now, many years have passed, I wonder what level his swordsmanship has reached."

"Haotian, aren't you Sect Master Ye's disciple? You should know better than us what level he has reached and what kind of demeanor he possesses, right?"

Haotian was a disciple accepted by Ye Qiubai when the Qingyun Sword Sect was founded.

As a result, he was watched by countless disciples and elders of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Haotian dared not slack off in the slightest; even though he was only a nominal disciple, he devoted himself to cultivation every day.

"I don't know."

The other disciples shook their heads helplessly, having no way to deal with Haotian, this cultivation fanatic.

However, Haotian's cultivation level ranks second among all the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

The first one... is Mu Shi, another disciple of Ye Qiubai.

Mu Shi already possessed superior talent and physique under the tutelage of Mr. Fanren Village, and further enhanced by the years of personal instruction from Ye Qiubai within the Floating Life Map.

His swordsmanship is far superior to Haotian's.

"However, Mu Shi seems to be communicating with the Cangdao Academy on behalf of the sect and cannot return."

"What a pity."

……

Meanwhile, Ye Qiubai learned about the current situation of the Qingyun Sword Sect from Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng.

When talking about Haotian and Mu Shi, Liang Feng sighed, "Mu Shi has a very high talent. No one in the entire Qingyun Sword Sect, whether elder or disciple, can compare to him. Now he has become the chief disciple of our Qingyun Sword Sect."

Ye Qiubai nodded slightly.

After leaving the Floating Life Map, Mu Shi honed his swordsmanship there for many years. Now that he has come out, he has joined the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

It's important to understand that in the Floating Life Chart, one year inside is equivalent to one day outside.

"However, Haotian, the disciple you took in back then, was also quite good. Through hard work, he managed to keep up with Mu Shi and remain firmly in second place in the Sword Sect."

Jian Chaomian also said, "Moreover, neither of them used your name to cause trouble. To be honest, I'd like to take them as my disciples."

Ye Qiubai also felt somewhat guilty.

Mu Shi had been properly taught by Hao Tian for several years in the Floating Life Picture, but Hao Tian only gave him some techniques and understanding of swordsmanship.

"Alright, stop bothering me. I'll stay at the sect for a while after this matter is settled," Ye Qiubai said helplessly.

Liang Feng waved his hand, glanced at Ye Qiubai and said, "In that case, you stay and oversee the sect. I'll go out and explore, and let you experience just how difficult it is to manage a sect."

Ye Qiubai's face darkened slightly, but he still smiled and said, "No problem, I'll prepare some more pills for you later."

Upon hearing this, Liang Feng's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Look, we've managed the Sword Sect very well. Since you have this intention, Xiao Ye, your brother Liang will teach you some of the methods for managing a sect."

Ye Qiubai's face darkened, and he said with a forced smile, "Then thank you, Brother Liang...?"

Now Liang Feng was really getting excited. All the pent-up frustration he had accumulated over the years was finally released, and he pressed his advantage, saying, "And there's more..."

Ye Qiubai kept nodding and smiling, but his expression grew increasingly dark.

Upon seeing this, Jian Chaomian was covered in sweat and kept coughing, the coughing becoming more and more forceful!
Liang Feng looked at Jian Chaomian and asked in confusion, "Why are you always coughing? How can a cultivator like you be troubled by mortal diseases? Or do you have some hidden ailment? You should have someone take a look."

Jian Chaomian's eyes twitched, and his lips kept gesturing towards Ye Qiubai.

Liang Feng then realized what was happening and looked at Ye Qiubai, who was still acting nonchalantly, saying, "Sect Master, these are my heartfelt words. You are a magnanimous person and shouldn't blame me, right?"

Ye Qiubai shook his head with a smile despite his dark expression, "How could that be? If Elder Liang hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized these mistakes."

"Right?" Liang Feng laughed.

Ye Qiubai stood up and smiled, "Yes, that's why I've decided to give Elder Liang a proper reward."

Liang Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked excitedly, "What's the reward?! Is it a peerless divine weapon, a sword manual, or some heaven-defying elixir?!"

Ye Qiubai drew a wooden sword and smiled, "That is of course my understanding of swordsmanship. Now I will teach you properly through actual combat."

Liang Feng's smile froze.

wrong.

Not right.

It seems a bit dangerous.

Liang Feng chuckled dryly, "Is...is that so?" He then looked at Jian Chaomian to the side, pointed at him, and said, "Brother Jian, haven't you always wanted to spar with the Sect Master? Why don't you go find him first?"

Jian Chaomian quickly shook his head, "I'll politely decline."

This situation is not suitable for sparring... such a spar would probably cost you half your life.

It's best to stay away at times like this.

Thinking of this, Jian Chaomian stood up and walked outside. "Since the sect leader is back, I need to hurry up and arrange things for tomorrow. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he simply left.

Liang Feng was left staring blankly.

No? So brothers can only share the good times, not the bad, right?
Running so fast?

Liang Feng watched Ye Qiubai slowly approach, then plopped down on the ground and kept moving backward. He stretched out one hand to try to stop Ye Qiubai and said with a dry laugh, "Well... um, I think we should do it another day. I don't really need any understanding of swordsmanship."

Ye Qiubai smiled and gripped the wooden sword in his hand. "Is that so?"

It didn't take long.

Jian Chaomian then heard screams coming from inside the hall… (End of Chapter)
